    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    Aluminum wire rod is generally produced using one of three processes: continuous casting and rolling, direct casting, and extrusion. The production process affects the dimensions, shape, quality, and purity of the wire rod. Most of the wire rod produced through extrusion is packed in bundles, but wire rod that is produced through casting is often packed as coils. Most of the wire rod coil produced in Turkey is through continuous casting and rolling. The process involves the continuous casting of billets and then rolling it into wire rod with the desired thickness.

  • Turkey’s Aluminum Unwrought Market Outlook Report

    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    Aluminum smelters (unwrought producers) fall into two categories: primary and secondary smelters. Molten aluminum cast as unwrought products can be produced either through alumina electrolysis in primary smelters or through remelting scrap and pure ingots in secondary smelters. Primary smelting is a cost-intensive process; thus, such plants are usually large-scale producers that can be economical with capacities above 100,000 tonnes. But remelting aluminum in secondary smelters requires much lower costs, making small-scale capacities economical.

    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    The dimensions of copper and brass rods, bars, and sections (RBS) are determined by their cross section shapes and sizes. Generally, RBS come in round, square or rectangular, and hexagonal cross sections; round RBS cross sections range from 1.5mm to 90mm. Polygonal RBS can be from 4mm to 80mm in cross section diameter. RBS in smaller cross section sizes are sold in coils, while other products are sold as long pieces. RBS are also categorized as hollow and solid. Copper busbars are produced in round and flat forms in different sizes. These products are mostly produced through the extrusion of billets as raw materials. However, busbars and strips are partly produced from rolled copper wire rod.

    A major portion of aluminum sheets and plates fall in the non-heat-treatable alloy category. Series 3xxx and 5xxx alloys take the largest market share. There are also series 1xxx alloy sheets and plates, mainly used in electrical applications. Aluminum sheets and plates in Turkey are mostly produced using cold rolling. There are fewer passes in the cold rolling process, which translates into less equipment required, lower capital intensity, and lower production costs.

    Packaging for chemicals and beverages, false ceilings, dampa ceilings and tiles, as well as composite panels are some of the main applications of aluminum sheets and plates. Thus, construction and packaging are the main consumers of these products in Turkey. Both industries are expected to grow over the coming years.

  • Turkey’s Aluminum Foil Market Outlook Report

    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    Most of the aluminum foil produced in Turkey uses continuous casting and rolling. Plants using this process are generally smaller (in terms of output capacity) than those using hot rolling. Yet, as cold rolling requires fewer rolling passes and is carried out without any heat, production costs are lower than hot rolling. Moreover, owing to less expensive equipment, it also requires lower capital costs. Perishable food and drug packaging as well as disposable containers are the most important applications of aluminum foil. The share of the food and drug industry in the country’s GDP has grown over the past decade. According to studies, the sector’s output is forecast to grow as the population grows and the tourism industry expands.

    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    Casting parts are not generally categorized as finished products and are used in the fabrication of other products; based on composition, they fall into copper parts (non-alloy), brass parts, and alloy parts (excluding brass). Alloy and brass parts constitute the largest market share. Copper parts are used in industrial products such as parts for welding machines, steel casting molds, and artisanal handicrafts, while brass parts have wider applications including tools and equipment (locks and keys, zippers, door handles, rims and trims, bolts and nuts, etc.), faucets and valves for water and gas, home lighting and decorative products, auto parts, etc.

  • Turkey’s Refined Zinc Market Outlook Report

    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    A major part of unwrought zinc is produced from the leaching of oxide ore in sulfuric acid and the electrowinning process. All unwrought zinc produced in Turkey uses the hydrometallurgical method, but most of the leached oxide ore comes from the oxidation of zinc dust in electric arc furnaces. The country is the largest consumer of ferrous scrap in the region and the largest importer in the world. The melting of galvanized scrap to produce crude steel will provide the raw material for unwrought zinc from electric furnace dust in steelmaking plants.

    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    Power wires and cables include all electrical conductors used in the power industry, automotive, construction, equipment and machinery, or put another way, all industrial applications. As one of the early steps in the supply chain of wires and cables with metal conductors, metal wire rod is drawn into wires in different diameters, which are then coated with different insulations based on applications. Wires are also used in wiring harnesses for motor vehicles. Finally, wires (coated or otherwise) are twisted into cables. Copper is the main conductor used in the production of power wires and cables in Turkey.
